Arrgghh I overdrew my bank account! I got my rent paid, but I needed to pay a couple utilities now, can't wait for the stimulus!

I saw my 3DS laying there and three Pokemon games, I don't play them anymore, I prefer the Switch games and GO.

I put it up for sale on Facebook Marketplace for a reasonable price, and a lady here in town bought it, I met her at a restaurant...

She explained her autistic boy loved Pokemon but his 3DS broke not long ago! I told her I understand, I'm autistic too! We made the deal, and I walked to a local place near the restaurant where you can pay your utilities in cash and I got that taken care of!! !

I messaged her later, her boy loves his new 3DS and Pokemon games!! !

:heart: :heart: :heart:

Sweet! :D
I'd rather not have the overdraft stress but that it led to solving that dilemma is a grand thing! :heart:

(now, off to go look up what a 3DS is)

:heart: It is very very sweet that her adorable autistic little boy will get his 3DS. I love this. :heart:

I used to enjoy playing on a nintendo DS, but alas I don't have one these days.

The 3D version does not bother me as I have an eye condition that stops me from using it.

I also used to love the playstation.
